Abstract

Objectives This study explores te experience of distance learning in practicum of seoncdary pre-service mathmatics teachers. The future of distance learning and the system for the effective practicum within and without the school field were discussed.
 Methods Three of fourth-grade students of the mathematics education department attending a local university were selected as research participants, and data collection and interviews were conducted. Data were collected for two months from October 2021, and interviews were conducted either directly with the research participants or using Zoom.
 Results The distance learning experienced by the secondary pre-mathematics teacher was insignificant, and the secondary pre-service mathematics teachers experienced difficulties due to the lack of interactive communication with students in distance learning at school, unskilled time arrangement and document implementation, and the gap of class participation among students. In addition, it was found that the practicum serves as an opportunity for secondary school pre-service mathematics teachers to improve the difficulties and problems they experienced.
 Conclusions Based on these findings, it was discussed that the advantages of distance learning should be maximized in the school field and the up-coming system of practicum, the gap of the quality of experience in practicum caused by differences between practical schools should be minimized, and the ability of pre-service mathematics teachers using technology in class should be improved.
